Broken Heart (Thirteen Valleys)

Thirteen valleys he has wandered for her love

For he thinks he is the one that she dreams of

But her bed was made elsewhere from the first day she got there

Now he wanders thirteen valleys crying out

Now he wanders thirteen valleys crying out

It could have been me

I said, It could have been me

A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

Thirteen valleys she has gone since morning came

Well she gave so much that only love remains

But her lover is long gone with the money she sent on

Now she wanders thirteen valleys crying out

Now she wanders thirteen valleys crying out

It could have been me

I said, It could have been me

A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

That broken heart will be forever and a lifetime

That broken heart will try your love like none before

And you may fight or you may run for what was fast is now undone

A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

Thirteen valleys lying silent in the haze

Filled with promises and spirits that we raised

But the spirits all are ghosts of the ones we hurt the most

And they wander thirteen valleys crying out

And they wander thirteen valleys crying out

It could have been me

I said, It could have been me

A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

It could have been me

I said, It could have been me

A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

That broken heart will be forever and a lifetime

That broken heart will try your love like none before

And you may fight or you may run for what was fast is now undone

A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
